• i'm excited to go to thanh long tonight - it's been a while since nico and i have been here, but the other day when he was asking what restaurant i wanted to go to for my bird-day, i had this sudden craving for crab and garlic noodles. yum.
• my hair is long. i mean LONG. i've had it this long before, but it's to that point where it's driving me crazy. i would go to my typical hairstylist eva (whom i've had since high school [i know!]) but she's all the way out near 19th and taraval in the city. i hate to say it, but she's kinda far for me. that, and the last time she cut my hair last june, i think she went a little crazy with the razor, and my hair got a bit more texture than what i would have liked. then in sept when we were in ny, i got my hair cut at this salon. i didnt go to the main guy, but his master stylist did a mighty fine job. i've gotten a recommendation to go to time salon in san mateo (CLOSE!), so i'll try it out.
• i have a triathlon again in june. i havent been training as hard as i should be. maybe it's because it's more fun being lazy than actually working out! haha! but really, i can feel it in the clothes that i wear that i have to start watching what i eat - or, just get a move on and start working out and stop eating bad stuff!
• the weather's nice out. i hope it's windy enough for the kite flying on sunday. =)

hippo birdie tumi! lol.

{work: south san francisco, ca}

so much... so little...
here's what i've been doing in a nutshell:

- may 5-6 - wildflower olympic relay - what an experience with team pb&j! all i can say is that i have an awesome team, that day was HOT HOT HOT, but i RAN RAN RAN. (yay to piadoll and jenaynay for doing a FABULOUS JOB on the swim and bike, respectively. you guys are BAD ASS!!) and to think because of all of that, i am crazy enough to do my own triathlon. maybe even two or three. haha, we'll see...
- may 19 - bacio cafe grand opening party - BUSY is all i can say. we had a great turn out. stay tuned for more summer events. there are a LOT coming up.
- i've been working at the cafe as a barista on wednesdays to get acquainted with, well, how to be a barista. i am the "back up" if you will, in case there's a shift that needs to be filled that is not during work hours. i think im scheduled to work some saturdays now. stop by if you're in the san mateo neighborhood.
- i've been looking for talent to book for the cafe summer music series. i've gotten a lot of jazz duos/trios. it's kinda hard work to look for people, listen to their music, find out when/if they are available, and if they can fit in our "intimate" space. it'd be cool to get other types of music - bossa nova, reggae, r&b, rondalla (hint ;)).
- i've been training for the mermaid tri. i want to finish in a decent time. it's not even about finishing, because i know i can. i want a decent time. ugh, my bike my bike my bike... i need a road bike.
-i finally finished my Darlingtons book club book. it was supposed to be a quick read. but it took me all four months to finally finish. i did not prioritize this one.

this weekend i will be:
- submitting some writing pieces to BRL anthology (i hope i make the deadline!)
- running errands, last minute stuff for baby shower on saturday
- working/hosting jazz night at bacio cafe after the baby shower on saturday
- waking up at o dark hundred on sunday morning to swim, bike and run at the mermaid triathlon. not a relay. im doing the whole damn thing.

am i busy? hell no, i know how to prioritize! =D
